To each their own. I get the need to have historical chat and all, and I run a Mattermost server for friends for the last few years and I depend on history there too. But on Signal it’s really just what I use with work peeps for after hours non-Teams IT chat in case something breaks and they needs emergency help since we all basically mute notifications for Teams after work.

Correct, it will only have all future messages. Nothing historic. But it should sync literally everything going forward.

I use it on mobile and desktop regularly without sync issues. Has it always had that problem for you? I generally always get messages at the exact same time without fail.

Ackshully, that’s a jackdaw. Wait, where am I?

That’s great in theory, but you’ll have passwords for logging into OSes too which password managers do not help with and you better have it memorized or you’re going to have a bad time.

Very common for pass phrases, and not dissuaded. Pass phrases are good for people to remember without using poor storage practices (post it notes, txt file, etc) and are strong enough to keep secure against brute force attacks or just guessing based off knowledge of the user.

The better argument is that many keyboards don’t have an Insert key. I usually use Shift+Insert myself because it’s more likely to work on all terminal types, including Windows and Linux, but have ran into times where I just don’t have an insert, like on my laptop and Chromebook. So yeah, I might switch to Ctrl+Shift+V as my go to.

Anand left 10 years ago to the day of the announcement. Was pretty well timed and I doubt it was coincidental.

Shut down announcement 10 years to the day from Anand Lal Shimpi retiring from AnandTech.

You can definitely put me down for 0 because my parents didn’t love me enough.

Even more frustrating is that different releases and builds recategorize where certain settings are entirely. To the point where search is the only reliable way of knowing for sure you’ll get to the right place. They haven’t changed things too drastically recently but they kept moving shit around in Win10 throughout its lifetime.

Yep, if you’re in charge of managing hundreds of computers, you don’t want to guess at what it’ll do. We have our defaults but also have people who make exceptions depending on their own work needs. Tbh, I rarely use that button anyhow though, I right click on the start menu to get that menu instead and use shutdown, restart, or log out.

I’m not commenting on the existence of it happening, I’m commenting on the use of the word “majority” to give themselves credibility. It’s dismissive of the issue and a way to ride out your bias as if it’s justified. Does it happen where minors get involved with OF on their own? I have no doubts. Is it the majority of OF accounts where a minor is involved? No one knows and making guesses isn’t productive.

What you’re experiencing is generational bias and forming an opinion without actual facts. Be better.

Yep, instant sync is never a guarantee. There still has to be a queue for command messages along with authentication plus authorization of said commands. And just like you said, you must be connected to a network that then can reach their cloud to even receive the command queue.

I run a sync service between multiple Active Directory domains as a result of a merger and the directories haven’t been cutover yet. Along with this sync is a password sync that is normally instant. Most of the times (> 90%), less than a second. Sometimes 3 seconds. Other times? 2 minutes. Even when things are within the same LAN, there’s the possibility of a backed up queue.

So yeah, this is purely on him trusting the sync implicitly and not verifying. In my case, I trust it too but will on occasion have to assist users because it’s not infallible. Karma got him and I have zero sympathy.

They may actually have fixed it now. Worked all day yesterday for me but it just redirects to the profile URL now for me too.

The funny thing is, it’s not actually hidden if you know how to see them. Just throw “/likes” after a profile. They only hid the fucking button.

800-53 Rev 5 is such a pain in the ass to implement fully but holy shit is it much needed. Bad actors out there everywhere and if followed to the letter, those controls will save you almost every step of the way. “Almost” because there will always be a new method to infiltrate an organization or agency, but the damage control built into these controls should lessen the impact regardless.

A friend told me about it shutting down last night and I looked into it. Found a thread 2 or 3 months old on Reddit talking about it shutting down, though I hadn’t heard about it myself. So maybe this isn’t quite so sudden but the news wasn’t exactly broadcasted widely.
